Resource Information

The item Asteroids : deadly impact, a National Geographic television special ; written and directed by Eitan Weinreich ; produced by Nina Parmee represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Plainview Public Library.

Every year, millions of asteroids and comets streak through the skies, and tons of small meteorites strike our planet. Some 65 million years ago, dinosaurs were wiped off the face of the Earth in what many believe was the aftermath of a massive cosmic collision. Could something like this happen again? Scientists believe that the impact of an asteroid only a mile wide would be globally catastrophic. Join renowned geologist Eugene Shoemaker and his wife, Carolyn, who together have remapped the heavens with their discoveries of more than 30 comets and hundreds of asteroids. Now that we know what's out there, how can we defend ourselves?
